The Albany fire men did some remarkably
good work ut the fire Tuesday morning.
This city has a fire department second In ef-
fclency to none In the State, taking into
consideration the sire of the city.
A worse locking, more CULTS appearing
set Of wage, was never seen Ia Albany than
hovered around the scene OF the ire Tues
day morning. One of the seven or eight
whs had been lodged In the Caliboosc the
night before boasted that the citizens of Al
bany could not lay the fire to them as they
had spent the night In the city's hotel.

Position Goes Begging.
Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald. !
SAN Francisco, September 25.-
Judge Hoffman, of the United States
District Court for the Northern Dis
trict of California, has filed dissent
ing opinion from that OF Justice Field
and two other Federal jurists, who re-
fused the petition OF the Pacific Rail
way Commission to compel Leland
Stanford to testify regarding various
unexplained vouchers and which, it
was estimated, represented money ex-
pended to influence legislation. When
the opinions were filed by the OF her
iurists the statement was made and
published that Judge Hoffman ac-
quiesced in the decision, though the
opinion filed to-day contradicts the
statement. Judge Hoffman contends
that the application OF the COM
missioners was made in precise con-
formity with the Act creating the COM
mission and with the identical
provisions of the Interstate Commerce
Act. He contends that the right to
acquire information is one of the
cecessary means of enabling Congress
to exercise its principal, it not sole
function, As to the constitutional
rights of citizen, they were in no
manner infringed upon, as the ques-
ton had first to be determined by a
court whether the questions asked by
the commission involved the personal
affairs of a'witness. Every constitu-
tional right was therefore preserved.
AS to the second point, that the court
could not act unless precise case was
presented before it, Judge Hoffman
said that the exercise of judicial power
was not thus circumscribed. He cited
that judicial inquiries were invoked
in a foreign country with no stronger
basis than the comfy OF n.itlons, and
that in many States compulsory
processes were awarded to grand
iuries and enforced by the courts. He
finally declares that the doctrine
enunciated denied to Congress the
right to invoke the aid of the courts
to secure by compulsory process the
attendance of any witness before any
commission of inquiry. Ii the wit
ness had been required to answer, and
had refused, he could have been COM
mitted to the custody of marshal
and been released on a nominal bail,
and the question could have been de-
cided by the Supreme Court, which
was not now possible.

Some Bashful BridegrOOms.

A Justice of the Peace in Saratoga
county recently joined pair who
were 80 embarrassed that they har dly
knew what they were doing. The
man wore white straw hat, which
he twirled on his fingers before the
ceremony began. When told to
stand up, he jumped before the JUS
tice with the greatest alacrity. For a
few moments he did not know what
to do with the hat, but finally found
his way out of the difficulty by putting
it between his knees. This was too
much for the bride. With the handle
of her parasol she caught the hat,
pulled it from its position, and then,
abashed at her audacity, dropped hat
and parasol to the floor.
The same Justice tells of another
couple who came to be married. The
man was dreadfully puzzled, and,
without realizing the act, pulled a
cigar from his pocket and began
twirling it around. When that por-
ton of the ceremony was reached
where bride and groom join hands, he
happened to have the cigar in his
right hand. What to do with the
cigar he apparently did not know.
The Justice paused a minute, and
then again directed the pair to join
hands. By this time the poor fell
lows embarrassment was painful. He
gave one agonized look at the Justice
of the Peace, and stuck the cigar in
his mouth. Before the ceremony
could be concluded the Justice had to
take the cigar from between the mans
lips Rochester Herald.
